Making Mammalian Synthetic Biology Accessible
Mammalian SynBio Toolkit: pDest-mCherry and Parts Collection
We created a destination plasmid with a fluorescent protein selection marker that can be used for cloning mammalian parts. We submitted a collection of well-characterized mammalian parts to the registry, in hopes that this will help future iGEM teams work in mammalian synthetic biology.
Protocols for Mammalian SynBio
One of our team members documented many common mammalian synthetic biology protocols, and created a website to help visualize these steps.
Public Outreach
We were able to share our work with a variety of audiences, from young children and their parents to experienced industry scientists to anyone reading social media, and educate the public about both synthetic biology and endometriosis. Here are some of our accomplishments:
-
Building with Biology
-
Articles on The Odyssey
-
Industry Visits
